Templemore Baths Swim School

Templemore Baths Swim School Templemore Trust ran the Baths for 40 yrs. As a local charity we pride ourselves in community service at community prices. Existing Users of the Baths protested.

Our child to adult swimming lessons & teenage clubs continue under Templemore Baths Aquatic Sports Club and Templemore Swim School. This page belongs to TEMPLEMORE USERS TRUST LTD (the Trust). In the late 70s/early 80s, Belfast City Council wanted to close Templemore Baths due to the new leisure centres they had built in the area - namely Maysfield and Avoniel. Eventually, the Council agreed that

if the Baths were to remain open that they operated under a locally managed not for profit organisation - Templemore Users Trust Ltd was formed. The Trust had two primary objectives (1) save the Baths for future generations; and (2) to teach swimming at affordable pricing. The Trust operated Templemore Baths since the early 80s. The Trust taught thousands of people how to swim, offered leisure swim provision, a competitive swim club was formed and a gym and sauna were also available. All provided for the Community, at Community pricing. The Baths commenced necessary re-development in August 2020 and re-opened in 2023. One of the Trust's primary objectives has been met. Unfortunately during the process of re-development, the Council decided it was necessary to hand over the running of the Baths going forward. This episode in the Trust's History from 1983 to 2023 will be catalogued at some point in the future. However, the Trust remains as commited to the Community as it ever has. The Baths have been saved and we will continue to provide swim lessons, leisure & competitive swim provision in the Baths and other venues going forward. Details of our swim options will be contained within this FB page and our website www.templemore.org.uk.

Distance Day. Delighted to report that from the combination of the taking part fee, your fundraising/sponsorship and some rounding up from the Trust, we managed to raise a fantastic £1,000. This will be split equally and sent to two worthy charities - Cancer Research UK and Marie Curie. Many thanks for your support and well done again to all the swimmers that took part 👍💪

“I do breastroke, I do freestyle, I do survival backstroke".

What an inspirational young person. Swimming 4k then a 2k run that saved his Mum and family.

Swimming is a life skill. That's what our lessons are primarily all about.

Age 4.5 to adult lessons available in small groups led by our expert teachers. As a charity we have provided this service to the community for over 40 years, teaching thousands.

Interested? Give us a shout [email protected]

A teenager praised for his “superhuman” hero effort after swimming 4km through shark-frequented waters to save his family, who were swept out to sea, has described the moment he collapsed on the beach only to get back up to sprint to a phone.
